Kettlecorn

[ckay87]

Do you like it? Oh my word, I LOOOOOVE it. Less sweet than caramel corn, sweeter than regular popcorn.

It had been my special treat when I went to fairs, festivals, parks. But oh my, now they've put it into a bag.

AND.....they've put it into my vending machine at work! But at least those are portion-controlled, not like the gallon-sized bag I ate in one day at Cedar Point this summer (the winner for the best, by the way!)

Oh well, there are worse snacks aren't there? Who else loves it?

They sell it at the Ballpark, but the last time I bought it there, it was waaay too salty. It must have been the bottom of a batch because the bag was full of crumbs too. What a disappointment.

Mrs. Vicky has great kettlecorn. They used to sell it at Target, but I can't find it there anymore. I do love kettlecorn. The combo of sweet and salty is just yummy. Some of the movie theaters around here also sell it freshly popped.

It is hit or miss as to whether it's any good. When it's bad....it's really bad.

I only like it when it's fresh, and definitely not the microwaved variety...blech. If you have a Dale and Thomas store near your house, I heartily recommend it. They make the best!

Blech, no. I like my popcorn either sweet (caramel only!), buttery (movie theatre with lots o' butter) or cheesy.

Love it, love it, love it!!! And here is how I make it:

Large heavy pot with lid, 1/2 cup popcorn, 1/4 cup Orvel Rednbockers Popcorn oil, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp salt. (We don't use salt on anything, so you may need more)

Heat oil in pan - put 1 or 2 kernels, and wait for them to pop, add salt, then sugar - vigorously shake the pan, and the popcorn and keep vigorously shaking pan until popcorn is done. Pour in bowl and let cool for at least 5 minutes.

Too bad I am on a strict diet, I would love some right now!
